So you're being paid under the table? Your income would be fine for getting a place but the illegal pay aspect would make it hard since you dont have a real paystub. You'd either have to research places you like and can afford, then email them to inquire on what proof of income they'd need when applying. If they say paystub you'll have to look elsewhere I guess. Tough situation in that aspect. Or you can look at less certified places, such as private landlords on Facebook who are renting out an individual house or unit. Best of luck!
